When to test?

Hi guys. I recently had what may have been a chemical pregnancy.

I miscarried at 5.5 weeks and the bleeding stopped around 15 days ago. We have been having sex regularly (2-3 times a week) since about 2 days after the bleeding stopped. There is a possibility that you can conceive soon after a miscarriage, so I do plan on taking a test at some point unless my period arrives within the next couple of weeks. I had mild symptoms last time (I found out at 4.5 ish weeks) and was already having mild symptoms (bloating, cramps, larger breasts) . Should I just wait to see if any symptoms happen? I’m very impatient lol and will struggle to hold off for very long! Should I wait a month and if I have mild symptoms or no period, test then? I will be using a first response as they are the most sensitive.

Note: my hcg will be below 5 now as I feel back to normal and it was very very low anyway.

They are pretty regular, yeah. Not to the day, but I get a normal period every month within a few days of the same time.

@Nicolelinda96 I'm sorry for your loss!
Do you have regular cycles?

@Nicolelinda96 I feel every bit of the emotions you're going through.
I had a chemical pregnancy in July, which was heart breaking 🥺
I personally waited until I had a period in August then got straight back at it again.
Currently in my 2 week wait and I'm obsessing over every twinge, niggle and sensation in body 🙈🙈
I know it's easy for others to say but try to think positive and plan stuff to do whether it's a walk or meeting up with friends for dinner/lunch etc. This helps keep your mind active, personally for me it stops me obsessing about it 🙈🤣
Keep me posted and remember to have fun whilst trying again 🥰xx
